This year, Karen Gillan will have a very busy year. The British actress will be starring in The Circle alongside Tom Hanks and Emma Watson before reprising her role as Nebula in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. The following year, the franchise will see the long-awaited Avengers: Infinity War title hit theaters - and it seems like Gillan will be a part of it.

During a recent interview with the BBC, Gillan spoke about her busy schedule and took time to reference her MCU work. It was there that the red-headed actress told the network to look out for her 2017 projects. And, then, the actress had this nugget of gold to drop:

"Then I'll be making a little appearance in the next Avengers movies."

Well, there you have it. Many fans were wondering if the Guardians of the Galaxy character would appear given her connection to Thanos, and those rumors only intensified with the new year. It was announced that Avengers: Infinity War would be shooting partially in Scotland, and the British territory is the home of Gillan. The blockbuster will be shooting in cities like Edinburgh, Glasgow, and the upper Highlands.

Set to the backdrop of 'Awesome Mixtape #2,' Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 continues the team's adventures as they traverse the outer reaches of the cosmos. The Guardians must fight to keep their newfound family together as they unravel the mysteries of Peter Quill's true parentage. Old foes become new allies and fan-favorite characters from the classic comics will come to our heroes' aid as the Marvel cinematic universe continues to expand.

Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 is written and directed by James Gunn (Slither). The film marks the return of the original Guardians, including Chris Pratt (Jurassic World) as Peter Quill/Star-Lord; Zoe Saldana (Star Trek Into Darkness) as Gamora; Dave Bautista (Spectre) as Drax; Vin Diesel (Furious 7) as the voice of Groot; Bradley Cooper (American Sniper) as the voice of Rocket; Michael Rooker (Jumper) as Yondu; Karen Gillan (The Big Short) as Nebula; and Sean Gunn (Gilmore Girls) as Kraglin.
